Full Plot Details

John and Ann Mullany, a junior partner at a law firm and a housewife respectively, are a young, upwardly mobile couple, who most would deem to have a perfect life. Ann's outward perfection belies the fact that she is in therapy, dealing with the stress over worrying about global issues with which she has little to no control. She does not see certain things with which she does have control being problems in her life, namely her sexual repression or her disinterest in sex as an activity, that is until it manifested itself in this stress which in turn is having, what she believes, a negative impact on her marriage. What she is unaware of is that, long before her stress began, John embarked on an affair with her sister, bartender Cynthia Bishop, who she doesn't admire as being too "loud". John reconnects with a close friend from college named Graham Dalton, who, to John, appears to have lost his way in life in the years that they have not been in touch. Graham, via the method in which he deals with his emotional and sexual problems - which is also believes is being totally forthright to all concerned - has a profound effect on Cynthia, John and Ann, who in turn, especially Ann, have a profound effect on him.

Movie Reviews

San Francisco Chronicle - 10/10 by Mick LaSalleA sexy, nuanced, beautifully controlled examination of how a quartet of people are defined by their erotic impulses and inhibitions.
TIME Magazine - 10/10 by Richard CorlissStartling is the fact that a film so light on action and heavy on chat can be so achingly funny without having being crafted by a young Woody Allen.
Creative Loafing - 9/10 by Matt BrunsonIt's impossible to overstate the importance of sex, lies, and videotape when it burst onto the scene in 1989.
Spirituality and Practice - 9/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatCircles around the ever shifting pattern of contemporary sexual politics, shedding light on both the fears and desires of men and women.
At the Movies (Australia) - 9/10 by Margaret Pomeranz[It's] something that is intensely interesting for most of us yuppies.
Variety - 9/10 by Variety StaffThis is a sexy, nuanced, beautifully controlled examination of how a quartet of people are defined by their erotic impulses and inhibitions.
Q Network Film Desk - 9/10 by James Kendricka thoughtful and absorbing portrait of unconventional human relationships
USA Today - 9/10 by Mike ClarkCunningly scripted and acted, and talky in the best sense, the film is engrossing to watch but not especially interesting to ponder afterward; it's certainly an improvement on formulaic Hollywood, but on a thematic level there's still more windup than delivery.
Chicago Sun-Times - 9/10 by Roger EbertIt has more intelligence than heart, and is more clever than enlightening. But it is never boring, and there are moments when it reminds us of how sexy the movies used to be, back in the days when speech was an erogenous zone.
Washington Post - 9/10 by Rita KempleyWhat "The Big Chill" was to baby boomers, the inspirational sex, lies, and videotape is to the mall crowd. It's designer soul-searching, a looking glass for a generation.
